Chapter 2841 Home

Liu Gui directly let the servants hired by Fang County Cheng go away, leaving only Mrs. Shao and Old Man Fei who had been hired by the county government.

They have a lot of stuff and a mixed population, which makes them prone to trouble.

After everyone left, Liu Gui asked Old Man Fei to close the door, and then led the people to check the entire backyard, and also looked at the small door leading to the county government office in front, "Who has the key to this door?"

?”

Old Man Fei immediately said: "Little old man, there is one here."

After that, he handed over a key.

Liu Gui took it, opened the door and walked a few steps over there. After looking at it, he stepped back and closed the door again, but did not lock it. Instead, he waved to the guard who was following him and ordered: "Go and get one."

Bring the lock."

The guard left.

After a while a lock and key came.

Liu Gui directly changed the lock, then gave the key to the guard, "You guard the door."

Old Man Fei:...Isn't this his job?

He was a little worried for a moment.

Liu Gui smiled at him and said, "I still need you to guard the main entrance, but there's no hurry right now. Let's take a look at the warehouse first."

There was nothing in the warehouse, it was empty. When Magistrate Lu left, he took away what he could and gave away what he could not take away.

After all, we don’t know who the next county magistrate will be. Leaving old things behind will cause trouble to the other party. Therefore, most county magistrates will dispose of their own things as long as they don’t leave too hastily.

Liu Gui was very satisfied with the vacant warehouse. He looked at the room next door and saw a bed frame inside, so he asked, "Who is this for?"

Old Man Fei said: "The person who guards the warehouse lives here."

Liu Gui frowned, pointed to another small room next to him and asked, "What is that room for?"

"It's vacant. When it's cold in winter, it's put away to warm up over the fire and have tea. It's not used for anything else."

Liu Gui nodded, and then said to the guard behind him: "Clean up this room as a warehouse, put the bed in that small room, and the people who come back will live there."

Liu Gui went there bit by bit, while Zhou Man and the others in the main courtyard were also busy.

The servants carried their luggage into the main room. Manbao walked around and said, "The room has been scrubbed."

But Wuyue still disliked it, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Madam, you go and sit in the study, we will tidy up here."

Then he asked Jiulan and Xibing to take out the wooden basin and go get water.

Sister-in-law He, who was following from outside, stood a little cautiously. When she saw them, she quickly said: "I went to the kitchen and looked. There are still pots and the like inside, but there is no firewood or anything like that. Master Lang and Madam

I’ll need hot water soon…”

Wu Wu said, "No hurry, sister-in-law will take Xiao Kou to put down her things first. I'll have people buy firewood and fetch water right away. I'll heat up the hot water later."

When Bai Shan and others took office this time, Mrs. Liu was afraid that they would not be used to Qingzhou's food and wanted Aunt Rong to come with them.

However, Bai Shan considered that the old lady and others were also accustomed to Aunt Rong's craftsmanship, so he did not bring Aunt Rong with him, but instead chose Sister-in-law He whom they brought back from the Western Regions.

In the past two years, she had learned a lot of crafts from Aunt Rong and Xiao Qian. She did not leave the Bai family, but signed a five-year living contract after working for one year.

Now that her craftsmanship was good, Bai Shan decided to take her to Qingzhou.

Sister-in-law He only brought a girl named Xiao Kou from the kitchen. She was only twelve years old and a servant of the Bai family. She was just selected from Longzhou Zhuangzi for two years and has been helping in the kitchen.

Sister-in-law He likes her very much and has accepted her as her apprentice. If nothing unexpected happens, Sister-in-law He will stay in the Bai family and let Xiao Kou provide for her in her old age.

Wu Wu handed the wooden basin to Xibing and turned around to find Mrs. Shao.

When Mrs. Shao saw so many people in the new magistrate's family, everyone became busy, and she was a little at a loss what to do.

Wuyue called her with a smile and said, "We need to buy some things. We just came here and are not familiar with this county. Could you please Grandma Shao to show us the way?"

Seeing that she had a place to use, Mrs. Shao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took them out to buy things.

In May, I ordered a protective cover and left in the car. I bought rice, noodles, grains and oil along the way. I also went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables and seasonings.

Wu Yue thought for a while, it would be troublesome to go back and do it now, so she took out her money bag to count the money, and simply let Mrs. Shao lead her to a street. When she saw a family selling steamed buns, she stepped forward and ate one. She thought

It was okay, so he waved his hand and ordered a hundred, "I don't want them now. In an hour, you can take them to the backyard of the county government office while they're still hot."

She took out twenty coins and said, "This is the deposit. The remaining eighty coins will be given to you when you deliver it."

The stall owner had obviously never encountered such a large number of patrons, and was a little at a loss for a moment, but when he saw Mrs. Shao standing next to Yuyue, he recognized her, so he asked: "Is this from the new county magistrate's house?"

Seeing that he was asking in front of others, Mrs. Shao didn't know how to avoid taboos, so she gave him a sideways look and nodded, "Yes, they are from the new county magistrate's family. Don't fool me. The buns should be firmer."

The stall owner bent down and nodded repeatedly, feeling excited and sad at the same time.

He was excited because he had ordered an extra hundred steamed buns in a short time. But he was worried that he would really get the balance after the steamed buns were delivered.

Wu Wu didn't know that the stall owner suspected that they were going to miss out on the 80 cash payment. After ordering the goods, he got in the car and went back with satisfaction.

In the backyard, everyone has almost tidied up.

Old Man Fei had only served one county magistrate, and it was the first time he had seen such a wealthy magistrate, so he still hadn't come to his senses until now. When he saw the carriage coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to remove the door sill.

The carriage entered the yard, and May asked someone to deliver the two bundles of firewood tied to the back of the carriage to the kitchen, as well as the rice, flour, grain, oil, etc. on the carriage...

When she returned to the main courtyard, she saw that Jiulan and Xibing had taken down the mosquito nets and curtains in the main room and replaced them with ones they had brought.

There were no supplies on the bed, so it was simple. You could just lay it on the mat they brought and take out the bedding and spread it out.

Then he started to open the box and cage, took out the clothes one by one and put them into the cabinet. Xi Cake also took out the incense and smoked the cabinet first.

Unable to find anything to do for a while, Mrs. Shao came in with May and saw all this.

After Wu Yu walked around for a while, he seemed to think of her and said with a smile: "Grandma Shao, go and help in the kitchen. Sister-in-law He is the one who calls the shots in the kitchen. Just follow her instructions."

Mrs. Shao nodded blankly and walked out of the main courtyard to the kitchen at the back.

The servants and guards all live in a small house next to the front garden. There is a row of houses there. Two people can live in a room. It is not very spacious, but it is still very comfortable if it is tidied up carefully.

Behind the yard is the room and kitchen where the maids and servants live. There is also a well there, making life very convenient.

Man Bao and Bai Shan were busy in the study room. They opened their book boxes, selected their respective bookshelves and put the books on them one by one.
